gong xi, gong xi.


Of firecrackers, delicious steamboats, yummy cookies, red lanterns and of course, red packetssss...


Here's another fireBRANDS youth service update just for YOU :)


As usual, we had prayer to kick start the service, led by Gary Lee.

Everyone was divided into groups of 3-5.


3 minutes break for those who need to drink water, go to the toilet, etc.

& then, it was worship time,

led by Le Roy and Eulene

Did you notice that there was
no ice breaker? :)

Anyways, here's how the game rolls

Make sure your mouth is covered by that... er.. that tape,
arrange yourself and your friends in order according to their birthdays
without taking that tape off/using phone/etc


So you're in March?

there were two groups.

the oldies group and youngsters group


the youngsters group were first to finish but sadly...... they lost.
Gah.

Waiting for everyone to decide what forfeit to give to them.

Thats right!

Tulisan punggung!



After ice breaker, there were a few more announcements.


*inserts a picture of Le Roy doing announcements.

Then of course, it was time for sharing :)


the King Kong video.

Speaker of the night : Sharon Leow!

All the way from kay elle.

( Leow, elle, it rhymes yo)



Building the infrastructure of life. ( The three core foundations)

1.Superstructure
2.Structure
3.Substructure


Whats a Substructure?

Foundation that supports the Superstructure. A structure forming the foundation of a building or other construction


Many times, we are drawned to the APPEARANCE and not the FOUNDATION of the building

1. A devotional life
2. A clean life
3. A life of true worship.


1. David leading a devotional life

Psalms 119 : 15-16.

5 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. 16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.

" ... I meditate on Your precepts" - Ponder over correct knowledge

Ask ourselves constantly " What is being applied?" and "what goes into our heart?"

Remember, that one can read the word of God but miss the God of the word.

Therefore, put aside any distractions and take God's word on daily basis :)

"..delight in Your decree" - to enjoy His word (something which doesnt come naturally)

-Savor every verse, chapter, and book of the Bible.

Remember that the word is merely for our INFORMATION, but for TRANSFORMATION.

"... I will not neglect Your word" - Keep His words in our hearts.

2. Daniel leading a clean life

Daniel 1 : 8

But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way

Defile - to soil/pollute. Making something unclean.

Why should we live a clean life? Simply because our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 6 : 19-20.

Be careful where your body goes, what it does, what it ponders, and how it reacts.

Live a life that is clean so that it may glorify Him :)

3. The woman with the alabaster jar leading a life of true worship

True worship -

is humble,
glad,
doesnt put on a show itself,
isnt half hearted or forced,
waiting for God,
adoring God,

Remember, if you want the building to stay strong, you gotta make sure the foundation is strong as well.
